Described herein is rail assembly (302), which may comprise rail (322) mechanically coupled to oscillating members (305) and (307). In operation, oscillating members (305) and (307) may reciprocate about vertical axes (352) and (353) of vertical shafts (309) and (311), respectively. Reciprocation of the oscillating members may cause rail (322) to travel in arcuate paths (802) and (804). Arcuate paths (802) and (804)may be located in a two-dimensional plane which is perpendicular to vertical shafts (309) and (311). Rail (322) may impart a force on the trunk of a vine so as to dislodge the fruit from the vine. |
